Pens need to finish 23rd in the standings to keep their 1st round pick. This also would guarantee their golf game start the moment game 82 ends. My question is why would they want to make the post season?
To be honest,I'm guessing around the 27/28 season before the Tuxedo Birds make it back to the post-season. I'm hoping the rebuild is quicker than that.
I agree on the rebuild. The Penguins traded Nylander and a conditional 2026 6th round pick for Bernstein (sp). I not sure why Pittsburgh is trading away draft picks.
Pens traded this years 1st rounder to obtain Eric Karlsson. (This pick is top 10 protected.)from San Jose. They will forfeit another year 1st rounder if they finish 23rd or lower. I suspect the Pens will trade Jake Guentzel to replace that years pick. Yet this organization is starting to really pissing me off.
Pens just lost to the Islanders 5-4 in overtime. They are looking to get to one of the top 5 picks. The players want an early tee time. Like as soon as game 82 ends.
